Consumer prices climbed 1.2 percent year-on-year in July, slower than the 1.7 percent rise in June. Moreover, this was the weakest inflation since November 2016, when prices rose 1.1 percent.

Food prices logged a renewed fall of 1.1 percent, and costs for fuel and power continued to decline by 4.3 percent. Inflation for clothing and footwear eased to 0.6 percent from 1.4 percent, while service inflation accelerated to 4.7 percent from 4.0 percent.
